Dar Williams - Slippery Slope lyrics

[Verse 1: Dar Williams] Well, we tied that knot Just look at those rings we got Gonna wear ‘em each year after today We knew it was meant to be We didn't have to go wait and see No matter what they say I think you'll agree we're doing A OK [Chorus 1: Williams and Lauderdale] But you're shaking your head Now I'm tossing in bed Are you smiling the smile Like you wanted to shout? Are we doing it wrong? Are we dancing along Down the slippery slope That they told us about? Oh whoa whoa [Verse 2: Jim Lauderdale] When you do that thing That stubbornly not talking Just say it's me, I'll say it's true For I am a horse's a** In a dancing cla** Just getting around Apologizing and knocking everybody down [Chorus 2: Williams and Lauderdale] Am I saying too much? Not saying enough? Feel the push and the pull And the working it out Are we letting it slide? Are we taking a ride Down the slippery slope That they told us about? Oh whoa whoa [Verse 3: Williams and Lauderdale] At the start of an avalanche We'll grab ahold of an olive branch Until that sun comes out again Or how about in the things we do You'll think of me and I'll think of you Right through to the end Hand and hand as we go, and the best of friends [Chorus 3: Williams and Lauderdale] You're my beacon of light You're my noblest fight You're the surest of things that I ever have found There's a twist and a turn There's a bridge you can burn There's a slippery slope Let's stand our ground Oh whoa whoa
